6. Superheroes

7. Wednesday Addams

Once again, a simple black dress will do with a white collared shirt. Apply some dark makeup and get some temporary hair dye and you have yourself a scary member of the Addams family.

8. Lego Block

Get a box, whatever color spray paint you want, and some cheap bowls from the dollar store. Glue the bowls onto the box and spray paint it all. Cut holes for the arms and head and before you know it you have a human Lego block.

9. Chimney Sweep

Really any clothing will do for this. Perhaps try some suspenders and black face paint for soot. You can make a brush out of pipe cleaners, glue, and PVC pipe—or whatever else your mind can imagine.

10. Darth Maul

Star Wars is coming out this Christmas and if you’re a die-hard fan, this costume is for you. Dress in all black, and wear red and black face paint.

11. Green Army Man

Grab some cargo shorts, some toy weapons from the dollar store, a jacket, and lots and lots of spray paint. Spray everything green, let it dry, and come Halloween, apply some face paint and you’ll be good to go.

12. Ghost

Lastly, if you’re really struggling for ideas, the bedsheet ghost is always an easy classic. A bed sheet and a marker will make you the ultimate ghost.
